URSA Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Tolebrutinib/TolebrutinibExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with moderate-to-severe gMG received tolebrutinib 60 mg tablet orally once daily as an add-on therapy to their SoC for 26 weeks in the DB treatment period. Participants who completed the DB period entered the OLE period and continued to receive tolebrutinib 60 mg orally daily along with SoC starting from Week 27 up to an additional 35 weeks in the OLE period until the study termination (i.e., up to Week 61).
Group II: Placebo/TolebrutinibPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants with moderate-to-severe gMG received placebo (matched to tolebrutinib) tablet orally once daily as an add-on therapy to their SoC for 26 weeks in the DB treatment period. Participants who completed the DB period entered the OLE period and received tolebrutinib 60 milligrams (mg) orally daily along with SoC starting from Week 27 up to an additional 35 weeks in the OLE period until the study termination (i.e., up to Week 61).
